Another Fuel Line Question, Did I get the right stuff? Options

[gskinner]

Question 1 - I'm in the process of replacing the fuel lines among other things and wanted to verify that I am installing the right type of lines. The old fuel line that I tore out of the engine compartment looked like it had 3 layers - rubber - some type of cloth fibers - and another layer of rubber. The new stuff I purchased looks more like a vacuum hose (cloth over the rubber hose). I asked specifically for high-pressure fuel hose to handle 30 psi and was assured that I was getting the right line. Does this sound right?

Question 2 - can I test my fuel pump by connecting it directly to the battery? If its malfunctioning, how difficult is it to rebuild these things? I see rebuilt units on ebay all the time and was wondering if its worthwhile/possible to try and fix myself.

Thanks

If you can find a foriegn auto parts store near you, they should have the high pressure braided fuel line in either 7 or 8 mm inner diameter. NAPA has the the same line except in 5/16 ID. Might be a little loose though. Like Andy said, center has the braiding, the inner and outer are rubber.
